What to do if i might have varicocele?

See a urologst: Varicoceles are very common in men. At your age, we almost never operate on them. We only operate if there is suspicion that this is the cause of pain in the testicle, or if you have abnormal sperm counts or quality and are having infertility problems.

Treatment: A varicocele is a mass in the scrotum caused by defective valves in the testicular veins, which cause blood to pool, and the veins to expand. The pooling blood raises testicular temperature and affects testosterone and sperm production, which can affect fertility. Men can still have babies w/ this, but the odds are lower. Tx safely w/ varicocelectomy, ligation, or embolization.
